What Indeed is Cloud Hosting?

In general, the genuine cloud web hosting solution serves different web hosting services such as data storage, electronic mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, Control Panel, backup, and so on, on independent bunches of very advanced servers. Each different service group produces a cluster. All the web servers in a cluster are devoted to serving solely the given service and nothing beside it. They will all function as one server, sharing out the service's load in almost equipollent proportions. If there is a real cloud web hosting service, there should be: a data storage cluster, an email cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a statistics cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these individual service clusters will build the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The enormous cloud web hosting deceit. Very widespread today.

There is so much misunderstanding revolving around about cloud hosting today. As you can perceive, cloud web hosting does not only sound perplexing, but in reality it is very perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud web hosting is. On the wings of this widespread unawareness, the "cloud web hosting companies" speculate fiercely, just to get hold of the customer and his/her 5 bucks per month. What a shame! A great disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the hosting industry niche there are no bylaws whatsoever. The domain name industry niche has ICANN. The hosting industry niche has no such supervising organization. This is the reason why the hosting suppliers speculate and lie openly (very bluntly, actually) to their customers. Mainly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's find out how much cloud hosting they in reality can offer.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting wholesalers

If a cPanel-based hosting supplier has a cloud web hosting solution at hand, which is very unbelievable, a lot of hosting servers have to be ensured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will return to that towards the end of this story. But before we do, let's find out what the cloud complications are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting merchant to keep the cloud web hosting system at hand, as devising one takes years. Even when time and the provision of proficient personnel are not an issue, loads of cash must be invested too. Tons of cash. In addition, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous problem.

The lack of open source cloud web hosting platforms

There aren't any open source cloud web hosting solutions. There are no open source hosting CP interfaces (functioning with the cloud web hosting solution) as well. Therefore, to have a cloud web hosting solution at hand, first of all you must fabricate one. In-house. Second of all, you have to create the website hosting CP too.

One server-based web hosting CPs

Modern web hosting Control Panels such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are created to perform on one web server solely. All hosting services (data storage, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, stats, web hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served simultaneously on one server where these particular one-server web hosting platforms and web hosting CPs are set up.

The deficiency of open source web hosting Control Panels

So, you must construct an in-house built website hosting CP that will function faultlessly and to add it within the cloud system, as if it was an inherent constituent of it. Good examples of in-house manufactured cloud web hosting platforms with custom created web hosting CPs besides us, at webmotionhosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud web hosting hardware provision prices

The minimum investment wanted, just for the cloud web hosting hardware equipment, is equivalent to somewhere between 60 thousand dollars and eighty thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS appliance, which is another 15-20 thousand dollars. Now you realize how many cloud web hosting platforms can be found out there... and, above all, why the web hosting sky is so azure... and virtually unclouded!
